    I totally didn’t entitle this one. Thanks, though! Congratulations, too, as it’s about damned time you were prominently featured somewhere other than the well-traveled walls of a coffee shop.

  • Koofer44 replied

    Really? Cuz I’m pretty sure it was you who titled it. I believe you though. Was it Erik or my dad then?.... Glad you’re here too!

  • Derek Flynn

    Derek Flynn

    This guy did, at least according to its description at deviantART. I meant—congratulations re. being featured on the front page. I saw it while it was up and saved a screenshot of it under “Rachael Finally Begins to Conquer the World.”

    this really is fantastic. it reminds me of comics that i used to read in days gone by :)

  • Koofer44 replied 11 days ago

    That’s a GREAT response. I love thinking that it’s cartoonish because comics are so animated and simple and those are both things I love in photos. Thanks!

    Hi there… it was featured in the group back at the very beginning when it opened. You’ll notice this picture on page 11 of the featured pages in the group (all images featured in the group stay featured in the group.)

  • Koofer44 replied 10 days ago
